Grippen requires 410,000 RP to research, ace costs 1,350,000. Unfortunately the meta changes so quickly that it probably doesn’t make sense to fly the same plane after the next update.
Counterpoint:remove Keen vision as a whole,in AB is even more frustrating because you tend to depend on the markers. Apparently, keen vision hates those markers and therefore you can be killed by a tank miles away that pops outta nowhere out of your FOV and its marker would be invisible.
In Arcade you were most likely scouted, also light tanks (and any vehicle with the “Improved Optics” modification) get 30% increased visibility range. So, someone can scout you, then everyone else on the team can see your marker. Almost certainly what happened. Put more points into your Keen Vision to help.
In esports that were so pushed here there is no place for such mechanics. We already have extended repair times, turret rotation times, etc. Rendering should not be limited by crew quality.

It’s crazy how a game that tries to be “competitive” have things like this.
You need to render a vehicle if it’s in your LoS, no questions asked.
You need to play engine/gun sounds in a given radius around your tank regardless of the LoS status, no questions asked.

Buddy,this thing happened to a tank which i have max level on the slot and the expert qualification
If you were in an MBT, you still have 30% “less” visibility range than light tanks. I play light tanks 99% of the time, and I look at a lot of replays where people think the person who destroyed them are violating the TOS etc, and 99% of the time they were scouted by a light tank before they got blown up. It’s a game mechanic. And Keen Vision affects GRB, as recent evidence has shown, and the stat card for Keen Vision clearly states too:
So, it’s not a bug, it’s not invisible, it’s a game mechanic. If you want max vision range, play light tanks/vehicles with the Improved Optics modification.
its a shitty game mechanic mind you. Its flat out unfair for tanks in your LoS to be undetectable

You know what would fix it? Re adding markers back into GRB 👍 GRB used to have markers. Keen vision has affected GRB since markers were removed. It’s only now that people are finally admitting it. I’ve been trying to show and tell people about Keen Vision in GRB for years. Everyone laughed and threw insults around. Not laughing any more though, are they?
I think the spotting mechanic for light tanks and AFVs is sufficient, a squad of spotters will usually be the deciding factor in most games already so full markers would be a bit much.
Its only because one youtuber went over the mechanic a while ago (and then all the slop YouTubers copied the video) that people realised how much it sucks

What a disappointment this game has become, they even managed to end BR 4.0 which was the only one that still had some immersion, they put crap broken artillery vehicles everywhere, 90% of the games are on small maps with uptiers
wow that is disgusting
I’m not surprised that new players abandon the game because they die from invisible enemies.
The high level of difficulty is often blamed. Unfortunately, it’s not the opponents but the monetization that is the main problem here.
If keen vision has to stay, then so be it, but should only applies to markers and their accuracy.

That is a very interesting idea, it provides real detriment to shooting out optics, as right now it is basically useless, when in real life it is an important step for disabling a tank. I think this should be taken up with the devs, because I would like to see this in the game

This is a massive issue in ASB as well, but maybe that’s more of a bug. I can see people ages away but sometimes they’ll just disappear, sometimes zooming in makes them disappear too

Only 5% voted no, it’s just yet again the vocal minority touting how their opinion matters more and want to keep it…it’s an unrealistic feature that most of us thought didn’t exist in Realistic Ground all these years and that the disappearing tanks were a bug, wouldn’t be playing Realistic and SIMULATOR gamemode over Arcade if it has same spotting tanks

This was the worst part, in some recent patch suddenly all planes have finally become visible and I can score in Air Simulator. All this time thought I was a blind noob, but no they were invisible…
I can still hear a sound issue even on machines with max out crew with gold.

There’s still issues in air sim.
Behold:
I’ve been noticing this kind of “Plane is in front of a cloud but disappears” issue quite often lately. I reported it as a bug, but no response: Community Bug Reporting System
No anti-aliasing, no SSAA. Only 8x anisotropy.
